Haitian president’s pick for prime minister rejected

It is true that the US extended TPS to Haitians in the US, but given that the UN’s request is to all countries, the US is surely looking at this recommendation in a strategic manner. For example, the Dominican Republic, a long-time ally of the US, is paying Haitians to leave. Will the US support the UN ban on forcible repatriations of Haitians in the DR?
